Polybrush Broken in 2018.3

It looks like Polybrush is currently unusable in 2018.3

When attempting to paint textures onto a mesh with a Polybrush/Standard Texture Blend material attached, I'm not seeing anywhere to chose a texture to brush. Also, the console is constantly sending out these errors:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Let me know if you need more information

 

Great not so great news. Glad that it is not me, seems like others are having the same issue across the board. I was going insane. Can not wait for the fix!

 

We are also looking for the fix for Unity 2018.3!

 

It would be really awesome to have some sort of preview version!

 

I am looking forward to this. The polybrush blend shaders just render black surfaces for me. I would love to help test the next version. What should I do to not miss the preview releases?

 

I have a project on Unity 2018.2 and have the same issue. Hope the fix arrives soon I'm dying to try this tool!

 

Yea, can´t wait for PolyBrush. Any ETA on when the Preview is available? @gabrielw_unity

Still waiting since the announcement. ^^

 

That's a good news @gabrielw_unity
Could you roughly estimate when it will be released?

 

Can´t wait to test PolyBrush.

 

Polybrush doesn't show up in the package manager (with preview pkgs) yet.

 

Hi, is there any news on this? Thanks!

 

No problem, thanks for the update

 

Still, hope that there will be a Preview Version soon.

 

Just checking to see if the Polybrush Preview will be dropping this week * Crossing fingers *. I am kinda really needing to sculpt a few meshes within my scene for testing. ♥ Thanks for everything by the way! the whole probuilder toolset!

 

Really looking forward to trying this out. Waiting on your wisdom Know you guys have a lot on your plate right and appreciate all the work you are doing to get this working

 

while we wait for compatibility, can anyone point me to a working-with-unity-2018.3 vertex painter I can use to paint textures onto 3d models in the scene view? Like basically something like what the terrain editor does for painting terrain textures, just for 3d objects, in my case just to put different textures on different parts of the floor, like carpet, stone, wood, etc...

Thanks

 

I was thinking I'm getting crazy. Was searching for hours to fix it. But it's just with the latest version. I'm looking forwards to the new release. Thanks!

 

Any news on this? Polybrush's texture/vertex painting tools are a critical part of the Unity toolkit (for me at least).

 

Could you please mention on the asset store page that texture/color paining doesn't work with 2018.3?

 

I seem to have problems with vertex painting on meshes exported from maya, At first, if already vertex painted, and applyed material, It shows all the materials etc, But when i try to paint with polybrush, The whole mesh just turns gray, almost like unity standard material... Any idea what causes this?
I'll keep searching for solutions meanwhile~

Edit: I sort of fixed it by exporting as obj instead of fbx from maya

 

Hello !

Is there any news about polybrush release for 2018.3 ?

 

Hey @gabrielw_unity,

It would be really nice to get any new Updates regarding PolyBrush. It has been stated that it would come out really soon since January and now it is March.

We would love to help with Bug finding and testing. Maybe a GitHub for the project would be nice. It really helped with the Development of NavMesh.
Even if the current version has a few bugs, it would still be better then the current state that is completely broken in 2018.3. Especially with the Render Pipelines.

With friendly Regards
Jan aka. Sonorpearl

 

totally agree with the above!

 

I'm interested in the 2018.3 version release date as well

 

Some info that may help. I am having the same issue as the op, but only on my mac machine using build settings for iOS. Everything seems to be working fine on my windows machine with build settings set to Android. I have unity 2018.3.9f1 on the mac, and unity 2018.3.8f1 on the windows.

 

Hi, sorry to keep pestering, but is there any news on this? Thanks!

 

Aw damnit it looked like a really cool tool when I was using it in 3D-Game kit, guess I'll just have to wait then

 

Well, something is happening. The repo shows that there's some progress on it going on. There's been a preview.13 on the 20th of March. I tried it and it's broken in 2018.3, so there's still things to do.

I rewrote my texture blend shader to work with vertex colors for the time being, so I'm assigning colors with ProBuilder for now. It's annoying, but what can you do. It's less work than making PolyBrush work myself. So I'm waiting eagerly for a working release.

 

+1 more random developer is interested for when texture painting works again. Is it worth putting an official change in the asset description in the store? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/polybrush-beta-111427

 

6 months since the issue was reported. It's a nice tool and thanks for all your work, but this is too slow. Looks like it is time to ditch polybrush.

 

This is pretty disappointing given the fact Unity made a reasonably big deal about buying and incorporating these tools.

 

@gabrielw_unity Do you have any updates? Thanks!

 

Looks like you can download source of the preview 15 here, follwing the link No0B25 posted.
An official update would be nice. Looks like it's taking some time because it has to now support HD/LWRP+Legacy Standard.

 

@nomand, have you tested the v15 does it work on standard pipeline?

 

@AkiLap hey, I haven't yet. Potentially switching to 2019 LWRP so just waiting till that happens at work before I chase polybrush around. For now I'm using vertex color blending and prefab scatter while those features still work. Cheers

 

@gabrielw_unity Do you have any updates? Thanks!

 

bump

 

It seems they released v1.0.0 preview-17 to Package Manager.
Its visible and installable by selecting "Show preview packages".

 

Yeah, it appeared in tha Package Manager, but without the shader and material examples in 2019.1

 

Looks like preview 17 is doing the trick! Was able to texture paint without any errors and was even able to get lightmapping to work! (which it didn't seem to in previous versions)

Awesome job, devs!

Only other request is that we are able to remap the hotkeys for Polybrush, since right now I use G for move tool (to match Blender), but Polybrush captures that key for itself.

 

@BMayzak Which shader did you use to get texture painting work? Or if you made one yourself can you share?
I havent got texture painting work yet, though vertex painting shader works pretty ok.

 

I'm still can't paint textures in 2018.3. The option to make a material "blendable" for polybrush is gone

Should I upgrade to 2019/LWRP?

 

I had to upgrade to 2019.1, to get it to work. I'm using one of the included example materials to test.
